Quite a bit of difference I would say. Keep in mind the NvAGP may not
be appropriate for your card, if in doubt, set that to 0.

Hi Joe,
most of those settings appear to relate to twin view for running a
monitor and a TV - I'm only using the TV - no monitor.

The "UseInit10Module" is interesting. Nvidia complains in the xorg.log
when starting X that it cant initialize the Int10 Module - presumably
the same thing despite the extra 'i'. I'll definitely try this one.

However which of the other options are pure tv-out options, as opposed
to twin view, that you know of?

Thanks
Adam

PS Presumably you've got colour - what cable do you have?



You are correct, I use the TV as a second monitor, mainly to watch video
on the TV so the whole family can easily see it. I have an S-Video
cable (s-video on both ends) and yes, I get color.

As for which settings are for the TV only, I cannot tell you, but I
think the message that Don Hayward wrote has all the information. The
TVOverScan is a new one to me as well.

Joe
